Cannabis May Enhance Night Vision

A recent article from The Guardian reports on new research published in eLife, suggesting that cannabis may help enhance night vision by making retina cells more sensitive to light.

This is exciting news, as it could soon be applied to help treat patients who experience degenerative eye diseases such as glaucoma and retinitis pigmentosa. Scientists are hopeful that cannabis can be helpful for vision improvement for deteriorating eyesight, but also to slow its progression.
